This is a 3-day old miniature horse chasing after one of its caretakers. I did not know horses could be so miniature. That is like a teacup horsey. I assume it is going to be much larger when it's full grown. That's the thing about animals -- they grow up. And sometimes, when things grow up, they are not as cute as they were when they were babies. But you still have to love them. You parents know what I'm talking about.

Hit the jump for a couple videos of the little guy in action.

Thanks to LK, who referenced that DirecTV commercial with the fake miniature giraffes. I remember that!

I wish I was a tiny cowboy. Not so I can ride 'im, but so he doesn't run away when I give him a hug.

Looks like it thinks it's a dog.

Horses are just land-dogs.

I used to live right next to a miniature horse ranch. One summer I worked there. While I was working there, one of the horses gave birth to a dwarf. That's right. A dwarf miniature horse. It was stumpy, but fully capable. Not much taller than your knees even after it was grown, but it was thick and awkward looking.

Your last sentence pretty much describes my umbilical tumor. And by tumor I mean my ex wife. And by umbilical I mean I f*cking hate that lying, cheating slutty-slut wh*re cheater!

Very rare indeed. Bunch of Auto Tune Lemmings Bastards. They think the Dwarves are Disney.

WOW! Now there a band I haven't heard in a LOOOOOOOOONG time! My manager at the music store I used to work at would have me do the special orders when someone ordered Anal Cunt because she refused to say it!!

What is the use of little horses? Just out door pets?

They are pretty common guide animals now-a-days.

originally pulled mine carts or so i recall. I guess I am just as lazy as you are when it comes to using the internet to answer our questions.

Or maybe someone who loves horses who cant afford to house and feed a full size horse could get one of these and for a reasonable amount of money be able to keep it unlike a full size horse which requires an insane amount of money and space to keep.
